About the movie: Harry and Sally have known each other for years, and are very good friends, but they fear sex would ruin the friendship.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: When Harry Met Sally... (1989)?
a.		The name "Don No Soul Simmons" keeps popping up.
b.		The "liquid nitrogen" coins have baffled viewers for many years, and are considered by many to be a goof. However the very first draft of the script shows that it wasnt an error. The thermos contains liquid nitrogen, which in turn contains a column of super-cooled CO2 (dry ice), which is what Chris uses in the vending machine.
c.		For the scene where Scorponok bursts out of the sand right on the heels of the soldiers, the effect was achieved by detonating a primer cord under the sand. The explosions would be in close proximity and very dangerous to the actors in the scene, so before the scene was shot, Michael Bay told the actors to run and keep running no matter what happens or else they could seriously be injured or, even worse, killed. As a result, the look of panic on the actors faces as they flee from Scorponok in this scene is 100% genuine.

d.		While writing the script, Rob Reiner once said, "You know how women have a base of makeup, I have a base of depression. Sometimes I sink below it. Sometimes I rise above it."

Rob Reiner, Nora Ephron, and Andrew Scheinman chose beautiful locations to highlight the characters lack of insight - Harry and Sally are as blind to romance as they are to the love growing between them.
